No, I haven't had this one wet. It will be on the agenda for a future dive trip though. And yes, that crystal is certainly vulnerable to scratches, but I've managed to keep it clear so far.

I once had a quartz Omega SMP with a misaligned second hand. It bugged me so much that I finally sold it. But I had quite a bit more invested in that watch than this one. ;>) These days, I try not to let the little things bother me too much. I pretty much never get a loupe out to inspect a watch. I usually don't like what I see under magnification and life's too short to obsess over the small stuff.

By the way, I don't know if you saw the comment I put in the description field on Youtube. In the video I say the lug width is "about 20mm." It's actually more like 21mm according to my measurement. I've seen it quoted as both 20mm and 22mm. You can see a small gap with my 20mm strap. You can probably squeeze a 22mm Nato in there though and I think it would look pretty good on a Nato.

Thanks for the feedback,

Curt
